Description
You want a revolution? So did Alexander Hamilton and the Founding Fathers!
America has fallen in love again with Alexander Hamilton and the Founding Fathers. Here is a popping fresh collection of facts and forgotten trivia surrounding the American Revolution and our forefathers from those you’d expect (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and Hamilton, of course) to those you can also never have heard of, but you most likely must have (who the heck was Rufus King?):
Alexander Hamilton was born on foreign soil and became an American hero – the founder of the U.S. Mint and the U.S. Coast Guard. The naval communication book he wrote was still being used by the United States Navy and Coast Guard through the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Roger Sherman (of Connecticut) was one of only two Founding Fathers who signed the three bulwark documents of our republic: The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of the Confederation, and the Constitution. (Give props to this guy.)
By the time he was thirty, George Washington had had smallpox, pleurisy, dysentery, and malaria.
Readers will be left with a greater appreciation and deeper respect for these human beings who were just trying to accomplish the improbable: create the greatest nation in history.
Skyhorse Publishing, in addition to our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history–books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and a lot more. At the same time as not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are every now and then overlooked and to authors whose work might not another way find a home.
